Professional Gift Ideas for your Boss, Colleague & Business Acquaintance

The Holiday season is here. But before the year comes to an end… It’s time for Christmas shopping–whether you like it or not. In our experience, it’s not easy to find a suitable gift for your work colleagues, boss, or business acquaintances. How to say thank you in a professional and elegant way? The answer: Give them a bottle of Cognac. Everyone enjoys a special French something, and even better when it’s a beautifully crafted spirit.

Before you browse through our list of best gift ideas for professional contacts, we simply HAVE to show you our number 1 choice of gift: Sophie & Max’s very first Limited Edition Cognac which we produced in collaboration with a small Cognac producer in our neighborhood. We’re super proud to have launched Limited Edition Sélection Nº 1–numbers are limited!

We have compiled a list of Cognac gifts that are perfectly suited for anyone in your professional circle. Forget trawling around department stores. Simply get online (or get your assistant to get online), and purchase the perfect gift without breaking into a sweat.

Marancheville XO Grande Champagne Cognac

We have to say, this is a truly extraordinary XO quality Cognac that really does belie its low price tag. From the eye-catching decanter and presentation box, right through to the wonderful liquid contained within, the only issue with buying this one as a gift is that you’re going to want to keep it for yourself!

There’s something about giving a vintage year Cognac as a gift that screams quality. And this one by the house of Raymond Ragnaud is certainly no exception. This is the epitome of why the Grande Champagne region is the premier cru of all the growth areas. And the folks at Raymond Ragnaud have got everything about this superb Cognac just right.

There’s a very good reason why Meukow Cognacs continue to clean up at competitions worldwide-and that’s because their wares are simply wonderful! The ‘pouncing panther’ that is the emblem of the house makes for a striking decanter, and the Cognac itself continues in exactly the same theme.

Add in the fact that this Cognac comes in a delightful presentation case, and you’ve got all the aspects necessary for a wonderful corporate gift.

Cognac Expert Subscription

No matter what kind of work relation it is, a Cognac subscription will certainly be delightfully received. And, naturally, will communicate exactly the right message about the type of person you are, as well. If you’re not entirely sure what the taste of the person you’re giving a gift for is, then have a look at giving them our curated Cognac Subscription.

This allows you to choose from different models and frequencies. It’s a great way to get to know Cognac, and the selections are diverse and offer a range of Cognac blends and ages.

When it comes to letting the Cognac do the talking, no artisan house does it better than Pasquet Cognac. This delightful Grande Champagne, Hors d’Age quality Cognac is intense, forceful, yet perfectly balanced. And we love the simplistic bottle it comes in. Sometimes you simply don’t need the bells and whistles of flashy packaging, because the Cognac really does say it all…

Sometimes it can be difficult to select just a single Cognac to give as a gift. And if you’re trying to get a message across to the recipient, then this tasting set will show just how great you are at selecting a much-sought after gift. Have a look at the Bache-Gabrielsen Pure & Rustic Tasting Set, it’s a really interesting range.

Consisting of 4 x 35cl size bottles, the set from Bache Gabrielsen is unique in the fact that it doesn’t use the traditional methods of defining a Cognac (such as VS, VSOP, and XO). Instead these Cognacs are designed to allow the taster to further understand the different types of aromas that can be found in a Cognac, without the constraints of the traditional labeling.

This is a wonderful choice for a corporate gift, being a vintage 1989 Petite Champagne Cognac in a contemporary style bottle and top notch presentation box. Cellar Master of Renault Cognac, David Croizet, says that this is a Cognac from a year that produced a truly exceptional harvest.

This Delamain tasting set is as delicious as it is classic. Set in a smart, attaché case presentation box with a wonderful pair of tulip tasting glasses, it’s a gift sure to impress whoever you choose to present it to.

Within the case are 3 delightful Cognacs, each bottle being 20cl in size.

Delamain Pale and Dry XO Cognac is fruity, delicate, and mellow. It’s a wonderful introduction into the expertise of Delamain Cognacs.

Delamain Extra Cognacis, as the name suggests, a Cognac that takes the taster one step beyond a regular XO… A wonderful old Grande Champagne delight-a Cognac that deserves to be drunk in good company, and when one has plenty of time to savor the luxurious sensory journey it brings with it.

This is truly an outstanding Cognac. So if you’re looking for a gift to impress… This vintage year offering from a true craft house is as powerful in taste as it is striking in its packaging. Perfect combined with a strong coffee, or with a quality cigar.

Personal Vintage Cognacs

If you’re looking for that Cognac with an extra special message, then check out our Vintage Cognacs. Created from a single harvest that are in one way or another out of the ordinary. This could be in quality, or it could be that there was a shortage in the eaux-de-vie produced that year, therefore making such a Cognac truly sought after.After all, nothing means more than to know someone has picked out a gift specifically because the year it was created has meaning to the person receiving it.

And remember, every purchase made from the Cognac Expert online store includes taxes, custom fees, and professional packaging to ensure it reaches you in pristine condition. Exceptional Cognac and exceptional customer service-that’s the Cognac Expert promise.
